Well, well, well, yet another CRE//Tech Intersect event and this time in LA. I have to say it's been long overdue. LA is the second largest #CRE market in the US and the weather is always nice so why not. Let's get right to it. Big thanks to Lew and the team at CBRE for graciously hosting. Thank you @CBRE for hosting our event today!! pic.twitter.com/lMt45FKezw — CRE // Tech (@OfficialCREtech) September 28, 2017 Yes, there are pictures but they do not do this incredible space the justice it deserves. Did I mention the view? We’ve got a full house at #cretech #LosAngeles!!! pic.twitter.com/dsDTWrlKKs — CRE // Tech (@OfficialCREtech) September 29, 2017 Full house!

How cool is that? The Content was stellar and yes I sat through it all. It was that good. My boy Michael kicking it off. I wonder if you can see (his) bottle of Tequila in any of the following pics? And no I was not doing shots with him. Don't judge! Hey, Dan…#BoilerUp! Great to representing @colliers with innovators at @OfficialCREtech in LA.

I'm surprised Brad made it out alive. I had about seven people ask me to meet him alone. I said ‘just go up yourself.” I was not being rude, Brad is a very approachable person and besides if you raise a couple hundred million it gets peoples undivided attention. Oh and since I gave USC some love I'm pretty sure Brad was a wide receiver at Harvard. Have you stood next to him? Oy! Did Lew invent #spaceasaservice? I think he did. I'm giving him credit for it! That's good enough for me. #GoBigGreen. @fifthwallvc co-founder Brad Greiwe sharing his thoughts on #CRETech and the #disruption that is coming. pic.twitter.com/9wRMe4vyLD — Jeremy Neuer (@JNeuer19) September 29, 2017 Of course, there were several standout companies in attendance representing a diverse collection of #CRETech products. The @NavigatorCRE team is crushing it! #CREtech #cre #tech pic.twitter.com/pGCyAA6gkG — CRE // Tech (@OfficialCREtech) September 29, 2017 @LEVERTON was there at @OfficialCREtech discussing #AI and the new trends in #CRETech!

If you know SoCal Real Estate (hell, all of #CRE) he is indeed legendary and still pounding out the deals today. Just listening to him talk about them was worth the 5-hour flight alone. He said he drove two hours just to see me. I was dumbfounded. Oh and I never do selfies ever. I wanted one with him!!!!! I asked! Pro tip: If you meet someone like this, get a fucking picture! He was sitting right in the front row BTW taking it all in. The front row, not in the back running his mouth. Do yourself a favor and look at his roster of clients. Holy Shit! Does a anyone recognise this #CRE legend? pic.twitter.com/fF01JF3UTR — Dukelong (@dukelong) September 29, 2017 Who is that guy with the beard on the right? Looks familiar. Great turnout from the industry’s best!! @m_beckerman @Pierce9ken @TurnerLevison @EmilyGoBlueLine pic.twitter.com/0pjUZfOvAY — CRE // Tech (@OfficialCREtech) September 29, 2017 Well, I could go on and on. I am not acknowledging so many people I met. I'm sorry about that. (Hey Jack, My Amigo) There were so many more conversations. I didn't even mention the dinner hosted the night before by Silicon Valley Bank. They were so nice and knowledgeable about #CRE and #Tech. The food was too good. Desert, what desert? I just ate it. I'm looking at you, Colleen. Is Octopus Vegan? Michael thinks so or the salad was especially “fresh.” Is this the part where I rip into……………… Not going to happen this time. I had a great time. The event was almost perfect. The conversations were…..sublime. See you in New York in December.
